The video explores the hidden meanings and details in various company logos. It starts with Amazon's logo, where the yellow line is interpreted as a smile and an arrow pointing from 'A' to 'Z', symbolizing the company's aim to provide everything customers need. Next, it examines the VAIO logo, which is more complex than it appears. The letters 'V' and 'A' form a wave representing an analog signal, while 'I' and 'O' resemble binary code numbers.
The video also delves into the logo of Toblerone, a Swiss chocolate company. The logo features a triangular shape, inspired by the Matterhorn mountain in the Swiss Alps, and a bear, representing the city of Bern, known as the city of bears.
BMW's logo is discussed next, where the blue and white elements are interpreted as a rotating propeller, despite company representatives stating they were inspired by the checkered flag of Bavaria. The FedEx logo is highlighted for its hidden white arrow between the 'E' and 'X', symbolizing the company's fast delivery speed.
Toyota's logo is explained as a combination of a hat and a cowboy or a bull, with different interpretations suggesting it symbolizes the heart of the car and the driver, or the company's past as a weaving company. Baskin Robbins' logo is noted for its hidden number '31' in the strokes of the letters 'B' and 'R', symbolizing the company's 31 flavors of ice cream.
Unilever's logo is dissected into 25 small icons, each with their own meaning, such as a heart symbolizing love and care, a bird symbolizing freedom, and an ice cream cone symbolizing the product. Hyundai's logo is explained as a symbol of two people shaking hands, representing a business deal.
Finally, the Apple logo is discussed, with its bite mark on the right side. The designer, Robby Lobel, initially struggled to simplify the fruit in two dimensions and in black and white, but eventually created the emblematic fruit. The word 'byte', which means 'bite', was in tune with the computer term 'neighborhood', a computing unit, and pleased Steve Jobs so much that the logo is still used today.
